By 1 Comment

If you have a lil one in your life, you can probably relate to how financially difficult it is to provide all that a child needs. From constantly outgrowing clothing, to the need for new toys to keep their brains stimulated, parents can easily become overwhelmed with the demands of their children. With this knowledge, LilLuxe set out with one goal in mind- to provide an easier and more affordable way to shop for quality merchandise for babies and children.

LilLuxe is a members-only site featuring daily sales events, offering members an average savings of 50% off fashionable, high quality items. For example, today on LilLuxe you will find Nicole Miller apparel on sale. A mainstay on the Hollywood and Fashion Week scenes, designer Nicole Miller brings her feminine glamour and artful aesthetic to this totally cute and on-trend collection that’s just for kids! Our two favorite picks: a leopard print-lined sweater and matching leggings set and a trendy embellished tunic, also with coordinating leggings. We love how each outfit balances comfort with style, and at $18 for each set, you’ll love the money you save while your lil one loves her fashionable new outfit!

LilLuxe sales will feature everything you and your lil one could ever dream of including clothes, shoes, toys, books, blankets and even mom/dad merchandise!

The “Don’t Call Me Fat” PR Scheme

By Leave a Comment

measure_tapeHere’s the beef: it used to be if stars gained a few lbs they were insta Oscar contenders. Robert De Niro started the trend with Raging Bull; Russell Crowe plumped up his role for The Insider and Minnie Driver fattened up her resume when she popped onto the scene in Circle of Friends.

Now, Hollywood has taken it two thick ankle steps further and if a star hasn’t been in the press for a while, they suddenly burst back onto the scene 15 to 20 pounds heavier declaring: Don’t Call Me Fat!

After appearing a little larger than usual in a bikini, Jennifer Love Hewitt herself declared, “I worked 20 years in this business and that’s how I got the cover of People!” Flash forward just a few weeks later and one too many headlines declare: “How Jennifer Love Hewitt Lost the Weight.”

Um, didn’t she JUST declare everywhere that she’s not fat, she loves her size and she’s going to ignore the obnoxious press? Right when we women banded together to defend her in hopes of giving our daughters a healthy body image, she up and betrayed all mother-kind.

She’s not alone when it comes to this weighty issue. Tyra Banks and Dancing with the Star’s Cheryl Burke both declared they loved their bodies only to lose part of them. And now we’re left with Jessica Simpson and Mischa Barton pathetically using their current curves to splash themselves back on covers. We get it – you love your body. Until you need more press.
